All details
With boats packed in our trunk, we will pick you up between 8:30 and 9:00 am in your hotel. From there we will ride approximately 60 minutes to Sazava river.
Upon arrival we start with Safety briefing and "Operating instructions" - basically how to control the canoe. Before we embark on our mission, everyone will be able to test the canoe and control it on flat water. We use inflatable canoes, which are very stable, easy to control and suitable for beginners.
Once everyone ready, approx. at 11:00 a.m. we set out on the river. Going down the river usually takes about 2 – 4 hours including a few little breaks to breathe humid fresh air, swim, or jump to water. Half way down the river, you will stop and enjoy a picnic lunch in nature (vegetarian and vegan options available).
Once we reach the finish of the trip, you can either wait in a cool beer garden and enjoy a cold drink and a swim in the Sazava River or join your guide and come back to the starting point on a lovely local train. Either way, your day ends in a cool way.

OUR MISSION:
Bring back the magic of travel
Travel got lost somewhere between the souvenir shop and the selfie stick.
The joy of discovery, the thrill of the unexpected, and real connection with a place have too often been replaced by crowds, checklists, and fast-forward itineraries.
We believe travel should feel personal, not packaged. That country is best experienced quietly, on your own terms. That small groups, human guides, and unhurried moments matter more than landmark photo on a social feed.
We value curiosity over checkboxes, presence over pace, and the kind of effort—on foot, bike, or boat—that deepens your sense of place.
We are here to create a meaningful adventures with space to breathe, room to explore, and stories worth telling long after the trip ends.
Our promise to you
If your trip doesn’t leave you smiling, we’ll make it right. Whether that means a refund, a better-suited adventure, or another fair solution—we’re here to fix it. We’re not chasing stars—we’re here to give you a real, memorable experience worth talking about.
Our goal is simple: Send you home with strong memories on unforgettable experience, that you’ll remember, long after you’ve unpacked.
